Port de Lixus at Port Lixus Marina & Golf Resort

Port de Lixus occupies coastal terrain near Larache in northern Morocco, approximately 90 kilometers south of Tangier along the Atlantic shore. Designed by Spanish architect Enrique Saenger, the course serves as the centerpiece of the Port Lixus Marina & Golf Resort, a development that integrates golf with marina facilities in a region known for its historical significance—the ancient Phoenician and Roman settlement of Lixus lies nearby. The layout takes advantage of the Atlantic coastal setting, with holes routed across relatively open terrain that exposes play to maritime winds.

The course reflects Saenger's approach to links-influenced design in Mediterranean and North African contexts, incorporating natural contours and strategic bunkering suited to the coastal environment. Fairways typically offer width to accommodate wind variations, while green complexes present the primary scoring challenges. The proximity to the ocean provides both scenic backdrop and tactical consideration, as prevailing breezes often dictate club selection and shot shaping throughout the round.

As part of a resort development, Port de Lixus caters to both visiting golfers and members drawn to the northern Moroccan coast. The facility combines golf with marina amenities, positioning itself within Morocco's growing golf tourism sector. The Larache area remains less traveled than destinations like Marrakech or Agadir, offering a quieter coastal experience for those exploring the country's Atlantic golf offerings.
